We should have >less top-level tags.I had been inclined to avoid amenity= because of the volume of past comments on other proposals, concerned about the number of "amenity" values. But amenity=storage makes sense. Because so many self-storage facilities are businesses, owned by different companies, landuse= is less appropriate. Amenity=storage would lie within landuse=commercial or, in some instances landuse=industrial, with operator= or name= for the firm, and self_storage=yes. Internal driveways, parking, buildings, and external fences and gates could be mapped if desired.
